Burn calories while you shop

Wondering just how far you've walked while you're roaming the malls getting your holiday shopping done?

I did some research a few years ago, finding out what kind of mileage you're putting in when you walk end to end of some of the area's regional malls.

Here's how they stack up:

The perimeter of one level at Triangle Town Center in Raleigh is three-quarters of a mile.

At The Streets at Southpoint in Durham, the lower level, both inside and out, totals just under a mile. The inside lower level is about a half mile.

It's a mile around Northgate Mall in Durham. Walking around all of Cary Towne Center is seven-eighths of a mile. And at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh, from Hudson Belk to Macy's and back is half a mile.
