Pity he's running around in the morning (5)
I believe the answer is:
shame
'pity' is the definition.
(I know that pity can be written as shame)
'he's running around in the morning' is the wordplay.
'running' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters run around to different places).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (short for ante meridiem - before noon).
'hes' is an anagram of 'she'.
'she' placed around 'am' is 'SHAME'.
(Other definitions for shame that I've seen before include "pity!" , "Feeling of humiliation" , "Humiliation; dishonour" , "disgraceful" , "Disgrace, ignominy" .)
