A small pocket calendar will give you dates to chronologically structure your mileage log.
Mileage logs are kept by business professionals and athletes to track traveled distances. An accurate mileage log gives a day-to-day record of distances traveled. Commercial truck drivers and drivers of company-owned cars are often required to keep a detailed mileage log for every business related trip. Athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists use mileage logs to track their performance during training sessions. Make your mileage log accessible and update it regularly to keep it current.
Instructions
Vehicle Mileage Log
1. Open the pocket calendar to the day of the trip and write down the mileage reading from the odometer on the line for the corresponding day.
2. Use a separate line for another date or another trip. Close the mileage log with the pen clipped inside and place it somewhere safe and accessible. Securing the mileage log to the steering wheel of your vehicle with a rubberband will make it visible and easy to grab.
3. Write in the final odometer reading in the mileage log above the first record from earlier that day.
4. Subtract the old odometer reading from the new one to get a total distance traveled for the day.
5. Tear the page out of the pocket calendar each time it is filled with mileage information. Store the filled pages in a safe place in your office or transfer the data to a mileage spreadsheet your the computer.
Athletic Mileage Log
6. Write the distance goals for each day in the corresponding day in the pocket calendar. This can be done weeks in advance or at the beginning of each day.
7. Record the the total distance traveled each day next to the goal number for that day in the mileage log.
8. Subtract the daily distance goals from the total estimated distance traveled that day to see if they are above or below their projections.
9. Store the mileage log, with the pen clipped inside, in your gym bag or workout clothes to avoid forgetting to fill it in each time you exercise.
10. Tear the page out of the pocket calendar each time it is filled with mileage information. Store the filled pages in a safe place in your office or transfer the data to a mileage spreadsheet your the computer.
