Not normal.: Muscle stiffness & soreness are common after physical activity but bruising & weakness are NOT. This could be something trivial and self-limiting, but it could be something more serious. I recommend you see your doctor right away. Meanwhile, don't take OTC's in the aspirin family and avoid excess exertion and any activity which could be dangerous for someone with weak muscles.
