No initial brake bite sometimes

I've an occasional problem on my 2009 C4S. I've got Textar pads on (a year or two old), but I've noticed recently that when I start out a trip (usually after being left for a while) that there's very little brake bite initially. The type of situation is: I'm leaving the parking lot after work and go to press the brakes to stop for a car ahead and very little happens. Instead, I really have to stand on them to make it stop. This, however, only happens occasionally, say once a week. Other than this, the brakes work well and pads/discs are good. Brake fluid also looks good (level/color). Pedal feel is good with no spongy-ness.

 

I'm wondering if this is glazing on the discs. It's a daily driver so no track work to give those brakes more of a work out.

 

Any other suggestions on potential problems?
