I learned this morning that The Boy ran all the way to his school at one point this week. He was at the main train station in town and had to make practice. So he ran 4.5 kilometers.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.
