Mine did this about a week before the lift pump went out. Some mornings, had to stay on the starter to get the engine to start.

In both case I would check you fuel pressure... Do you have a fuel pressure gauge installed? Hard starting is a sign that the VP44 is dieing... Did you check for codes yet?
