OK, my computer is old and I need to reset the clock frequently, and before I sent the post I accidently set it to the wrong date.

No. It's not normal to have such a sluggish starter in the morning. You are describing a failure mode that occurs occasionally. Eventually, the starter may draw too much current to start the vehicle. Also, if you are not careful the drive may not engage properly and the teeth on the flywheel can be damaged. Based on the degree of difficulty, you have to judge how long to go with it. It could go on a long time or not. You could feel the positive cable after one of these sluggish starts to see how hot it gets or check the voltage drop with a meter. However, these checks don't add much to what you already know about needing a starter.
