You could have a bad starter I would start by having your battery tested also make sure your battery cables are clean and tight. Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?

Keep me posted if it's not the battery or cable's you will need a multimeter to test voltage reading at the starter. That's easier then pulling the starter and having it tested. You can get a multimeter pretty cheap.
