You did not give us a lot to work with,IE new disk or not? This should be no more than the second set of shoes on the disk. After that you need a new disk. The ridges(inner and outer) on the old disk keeps the shoes from bedding in until the pads wear to the shape of the ridges. If the brakes pump up while stopped and the pedal gets firm, you're probably OK. I just did this job and I rode the brake while keeping the car going for no more than 15 seconds, followed by a long cool down period (longer than 5 minutes). My brakes are seating and pedal travel is close to normal now. You may get some groaning while the pads are wearing in.
