Push Foot Hurts

Hey, so I got into skating just last week and I’ve been making pretty good progress over the past few days. Now that I’ve gotten pretty okay at kicking and pushing and cruising, even though I’m still trying to make my form better, my foot’s been having this minor pain. Just kinda hurts when I’m walking and not intentionally pressing the toe down and then lifting the heel. I’ve looked online a bit and I saw that it was normal, but I wanted to get some actual answers from people who’d know about this kinda thing. Is it normal? What can I do to minimize the damage there on my ankle so to speak?
