If it makes you feel better, stick a little superglue in the hole. I don't know if it really helps, but in theory it will keep the hole from getting any bigger and keep other stuff like bits of glass from easily entering the hole and giving you another flat.
Last time i had Krylion Carbons on my bike the rear lasted > 2,500 miles. Your tires should have a lot more life left in them.

I have about 3500 miles on my Krylion Carbons, and I'm just starting to think about replacing them. The main issue is the rubber getting hard and cracking. Other than that, there is still rubber left. I only had one flat so far, and that was due to a thorn...
