Could be air in the system and a quick bleed can verify that. 
However, all that braking probably wore the pads down and the 
pistons that would move slid out to the proper distance. There is 
probably one, or more, stuck or sticking pistons that are not moving 
out properly as the pads ware. Is there a pull to the brakes? Pop 
the wheels and check for pad wear. The one(s) with the least wear is 
your problem. You might try a panic stop push on the brake pedal 
(while parked of course) to see if the pistons will set themselves 
for a while - if they do the pedal will come up and be firm for a 
short while. If the calipers have never been rebuilt - then they are 
due.
