You could use the "delay down" command on the track object, like this:

ip sla 10
 tcp-connect 10.20.30.40 22 control disable
 timeout 5000
 frequency 10
!
ip sla schedule 10 life forever start-time now
!
track 10 ip sla 10
 delay down 25
!

The SLA object probes every 10 seconds, but the track object only goes
down 25 seconds later (2,5 timers SLA frequency here). So if the SLA
object misses one or two probes and then regains connectivity, the track
will never go down.

I tried this on 12.2(55)SE IP Base; since you didn't specify your IOS
version I can't say if it's supported there. This was also on a C3560G,
but I can't imagine they're different in that aspect.
