Air in the lines. Try bleeding them more. If you have a long pedal adjust the brake shoes up closer to the drums. The rear brakes are what influence your pedal travel.

Glad I could help. If that doesn't do it check for air again. Sometimes you end up bleeding the fronts as well. Did you ever let the master cylinder run out of fluid while you were bleeding the rear brakes?
