The icepack worked well.  The ankle almost felt too good for the period after I stopped using the icepack.  Perhaps it's because I remember my ankle always being tender after a big run, that when I walked downstairs I was still expecting it to be tender and I was surprised that it felt good.  So I will be following this practice from now on to see if it gives some lasting improvement.

I went on my Wednesday run looking for a steady pace.  I was wary that I had gone out a bit too fast on that same run last time and I didn't want to make the same mistake.  I ended up with a similar time but felt like I had used less effort.  It was a more balanced run.

I had a good turn on the rowing machine tonight.  From the start, I was expecting an average row, so I was surprised that it took me longer to get tired.  I focused using the power of my legs in the last six minutes and ended up with a distance of 7,528m over the half hour.

I still haven't formally entered the Amsterdam marathon.  I should do that soon and look for accommodation too.
