Starting Problem

A week ago, went to start the car, and it cranked for 5-10 seconds and then started. At the time, I had been using some accessories in the car without it on, so I thougth it might have drained the battery, and I haven't had the problem until this A.M.

This morning, I went out to start the civic. I turned the key, and it cranked strongly for about 10 seconds, and didn't catch. I then tried starting it again, and it fired right up, and ran a little rough for like 15 seconds. It smoothed out, and the drive to work was fine.

Both days were on the colder side (about 30 deg F). I had just replaced the battery about two weeks ago, so that shouldn't be an issue. And the car is a 2002 Civic EX.

Any ideas or suggestions as to the problem?

Thanks in advance!
