stiff brakes had to press hard to start

The title says it. its been cold its relative I live in SC. Haven't driven the car in a few days. I went to press the brakes to start the car they were stiff. hit start button nothing bc brakes weren't press down enough. Then I pressed hard it fired up. No other braking issues. No more issues after shutting off and starting up again. I put new rotors and pads on front, also bled front couple months ago. Anybody else had this experience or know what happened?

It's a relatively common issue and I believe the culprit is a check valve that needs to be replaced. If you do a search, there are a lot of posts about it.
