Minor problem? Need assistance please.

Has anyone else ran into this? and if so, do I need to worry?

I ran my usual check on the mac drive via "Verify Disk" option. It came up with "needs repair"...etc., and told me to repair it. I did a command r during boot so I could do a repair, and the software told me "your mac drive seems to be ok"??? Some kind of glitch, or need I worry about it at all? Thanks for any assist.

27' iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Sony VPCL116FX Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66GHz 6G Ram 64b Win7

Ok, I'm a little confused, please explain if you would. The way I look at this is I basically received faulse readings from "disk utility's "verify disk"" because when I followed procedure afterwards, which everyone knows is to use the installation cd to run "repair disk", it told me everything was ok (or in essence there wasn't anything wrong at all). This is normal? This makes no sense to me, can you please explain it, or point me to an Apple support article explaining it? Thank you sir for your time.
