No. I think trainers provide great excercise (maybe more than riding) and help develop strength and skills for cycling, but I think it is silly to count the distance your wheel moves while attached to a trainer as mileage. If you must keep track of everything, count the time you spend on the trainer. If you just cannot stop yourself from pretending you are riding miles on your trainer, at least list them as an aside, not as part of your total mileage.
But that is just my opinion. I know that many others think differently.
