That's not a good way to break-in new brakes! You should have made a number of moderate stops from about 25-30 Mph, (while letting the brakes cool in between) then a few more moderate stops from about 45-50 Mph to break them in.
You could have damaged or cracked the pads the way you broke them in and that's why they're making a grinding sound...
Did you use new rotors? Or, were the old ones turned? A lip at the edge of the rotor along with new pads could also cause the problem you're describing.
