20 min does not seem like enough to make me not *yawn* too.

20 min is more than adequate; go four times a week and you'll actually see approximately the same results (w/in ~%5) as you would for doing double that three times a week. Do 'interval' training for better cardio/calorie results (2 min at a pace you cannot keep up for 5 min, then 3 min just below your mile pace, ie "sprint the turns, jog the straightaways").
