I'm a masters runner who doesn't enjoy long runs or running more than 20-25 miles a week.
What's a good distance for me to focus on? Mile? 800?

60m. don't even bother with outdoor track.
I don't expect to be a world class runner on that mileage.
I know it's too much for a 400 runner. What about the 800 or the mile? 5k perhaps?

Say that, in your 20-25 miles per week, if you are willing to do solid speedwork during the week then the 800 or mile will work well for you. If you loathe the track, get in hill repeats and a tempo run of 5-6 miles, and you'll do well at the 5K. Eventually, with the same mileage but more quality in your workouts, I think you should even be able pull off good 10Ks.
I run 4 days a week (too many days strung together hurt my old knees) and have consistently for 15 years. I mix it up from week-to-week, but race decent times in 5Ks and 10Ks on 25-30 miles per week. In marathon season, my weekly mileage will peak at about 50 miles on 4 runs, but that's another story, and not the kind of LSD stuff you're looking for.
Good luck.

Your best event would be extreme trolling. This is where you take everything the people around you hate; joggers, low mileage, and just plain being wrong (too much for a 400 meter guy?!?!) and shove it in everyones face to see who blows.
