Creating Pages- How Do You Do It and Check Out Tonia's Giveaway

Okay, so most all the giveaways around bloggyland ask that you link to their giveaway post on your blog. I am more than happy to do it, but there has to be something I am missing. I see all kinds of people that have a giveaway page on their sidebar near their blog roll. I can't figure out how to do that for the life of me and it is making me crazy! Can someone please help me?

Oh, and by the way, Tonia is having an awesome giveaway so head on over and check it out!

Running in circles (literally) and Thumbs Up and Bloggy Land Give Aways

Yesterday I needed to fit a run in. The hubs had a work meeting and wouldn't be home until after dark. The kids had swim lessons at the Y. I considered running on the treadmill when I got home but decided to multitask instead. We got to the Y and I got Kaelynn settled in with a book and Grant sent to the pool for his lesson and then I hit the indoor track at the Y. I ran in a circle 39 times for a total of 3 miles! Since I was working with a time restraint I decided to go for speed. Sure enough, I came in at 7:49/mile pace. I was quite impressed with myself. The hardest part of the run was keeping track of which lap I was on. I counted the first 13 laps on my fingers. For the final 26 laps I would put my phone in my left hand for the odd laps and my right hand for the even laps. It worked out okay but if I intend to run more than 39 laps at a time it could be more challenging! Any suggestions for counting? One facebook friend suggested I use silly bands and switch them from one wrist to the other and count when finished. Another friend suggested I get one of those "clickers" that the old ladies at the store use to keep track of their grocery bill. She was of course kidding but I pointed out to her that I did in fact google hand counters last night! Please give me any advice you have!
