Engine not turning over...

First time I've ever had a problem starting this car. It has been sitting for a week since I washed it and put it back in the garage. This morning I turned the key, heard the fuel pump fire as usual, waited for the SID to display "CHECK OK", then tried to start her up. It turned over for a second then died. On the second try all I got was the starter turning repeatedly. I tried three times for 5-second intervals and it never even tried to turn over. After checking under the hood for possible DIC burnout smell, and finding nothing, I tried one last time for about 7 or 8 seconds, and it finally turned over. Very strange. Did I just get some bad fuel or what? I have left the car sitting for longer periods of time with no problem. Could it have something to do with the extremely short amount of time the engine ran while I was putting it back in the garage? Fuel management hiccup? Didn't notice any smoke or smells from exhaust, but I wasn't looking.
Thanks for the help,
Brian
