Kids in my neighborhood played tackle on the lawn to the church across the street. There were two walkways interrupting the lawn so the rule was “no tackling on the concrete.”
He never said it was a measure of time. The endpoints of the Kessel Run are several parsecs, in a straight line. But space between those points is dangerous, so pilots take a more circuitous route. Solo can’t do a straight line either, but he skirts stars/planets/nebulae/etc closer than is safe, and shaves some distance off the trip.
