When to replace the bearings on my wheels?

Holding my bike front wheel up, and spinning the wheel, I can feel on the hand holding the bike some murmuring, it spins smooth though without any drag. I guess that this must be a sign that the bearings are coming to an end and most likely the rear wheel is the same case. Am I correct? It is a road bike with some 12K km on it, with sealed bearings. How long can I keep riding it before getting it serviced? My LBS man is away on a sick leave. Can I ride it for 100-200 Km more, or should I put the bike aside until he gets back?
