Want a javascript function to run every minute, but max 3 times

I have a ajax javascript method that pulls data from a page etc.

I want this process to run on a timed interval, say every minute.
But I don't want it to loop forever, so max out at 3 times.

What is the best way to implement this?

Like this:

var runCount = 0;    

function timerMethod() {

    runCount++;

    if(runCount > 3) clearInterval(timerId);



    //...

}



var timerId = setInterval(timerMethod, 60000);    //60,000 milliseconds
