Finally recorded more then just road bike miles.

Commute miles: Back when I started riding road bike I had mentioned on TE forums that I was only recording my road bike miles and not my mtb miles to work. Someone asked, why not? Answer: Guess I was not thinking of the commute was much to record. I started recording my miles for both road/mtb bikes in Oct. to see the outcome. I ride mtb to work nearly everyday of the workweek.
Today I went on BikeJournal.com and updated my commuting miles from the beginning of the year- Miles in bulk. I estimated low- per month. There may even be bit more, but it felt funny putting in bulk amount for each month. Trying to give myself the credit.
Why can't I seem to accept these miles?

Riding to work is still riding, and it really doesn't matter if your miles are on a mountain bike instead of a road bike. You're still getting the benefit of riding you bike, and you certainly shouldn't feel guilty about logging all of your miles!

I totally agree, miles are miles. For a while I wasn't sure if I was going to count my spinning on my stationary, but since the weather has changed, it's dark before I get home etc, it's the only mileage I get. My body feels the same (mostly) whether it's road or sit n spin. Actually I get a quicker harder workout on my stationary sometimes because I don't stop and go in traffic.
Keep spinning!

When I start commuting to work on the mtb, I will count those miles. I put a bike computer on the mtb for that purpose. Don't feel guilty. Count those miles.

I wonder about counting my commuting miles (just in my mental tally, I don't keep a written log) - I often don't count them mostly because I don't think there can be much training effect from a 3.5 km flat ride

It might not be much per trip, but it adds up to an extra 35km each week.
