Star Wars nerds will say that he was talking about his piloting skills, suggesting that the "Kessel run" is a kind of obstacle course with more than one path to take to get to the end. A good pilot, maybe, could do that path in a shorter distance.

However Han clearly says its a "Fast Ship", and brags about doing the Kessel run in less than 12 Parsecs. In that case, he is either an idiot, or George Lucas made a GLARING TECHNICAL ERROR that still keeps me up at night. Doesn't it keep you up at night?

Arrghh..
