good time for walking mile

Hi...doing some 5K walking/training.  What is a good time/speed for a 5k?  I did one 52.33 on Saturday and 51 minutes today.  Just wondering what I need to be shooting for to be in "healthy" target range. 

Thanks.

The fastest I ever got my walking up to was about 15:00/mile.  Those olympic speedwalkers put my running to shame so it's all a matter of perspective.  52.33 for walking a 5K isn't too bad.  My goal was to get faster and that's appears to be what you're doing.  
Keep up the work and don't be afraid to do a local 5K race -- they're great fun!

Whatever you can do is a good time.
My walk casual walk speed is 3.5-4.0 mph depending on terrain.  I don't run much faster for any great distance, maybe into the 6-7 mph run but I can't do that for 3 miles.
about 16 minutes or so for each mile on a walk. 

That being said, here are the results from my first 5k of this year, which for me are a combination of running and walking.  You can find me down near the bottom of the list.  If you think you have gone too far, keep scrolling ;-)
