Let the click run for two or four bars and then start recording.

Afterwards, move the Start location marker to the beginning of your recording. Alt-L will get you the location marker settings. You can set the Start marker to the playhead position by using "use PH" on the relevant row.

Or utilize Punch-In and possibly Punch-Out markers(Same ruler as Loop ranges) and the controls in the top toolbar.

I red that it's good to have some blank audio before and after the song (or else) for Mastering jobs...
