It  was me.  Your parking Brake is taking up the slack in rear
adjusters causing your pedal to come up.   It would be prudent to
inspect rear brakes.  If all looks good readjust rear brakes:  loosen
the parking brake cables, remove clean and lube adjusters, reinstall
making sure the horizontal tension  spring is the correct side up as
not to interfere with adjuster wheel, adjust rear brakes, tension
parking brake cable.

This is the second time I am typing this with my thumbs on my iPhone.
Please save the info.  ;-)
