seems to happen more when its cold out
Occasionally it will happen if I run the car for a while and then try and start her right back up

it would help if you were a little more descriptive.

Does it still crank somewhat fast... Its not cranking slow like a dead battery? If is still cranking strong, take the IAC valve off and clean it thoroughly. They tend to stick

I have a 2003 mustang too, had to change the starter and the problem resorbed, don't know if it is the same though, mine was not starting at all at the end. (Cold weather too, I live in Quebec, Canada...). I had a bit less mileage then you do.
