Wonder how many miles Ive traveled in my 48 years?I wandered outside to ponder your question and I looked up in the sky. In the rain clouds above a HUGE smiley face was looking down at me.
So I would say, "Not enough, Cripplecreek. Not enough."
And here's to a long and fruitful journey.

In reference to what?
Earth's center: 48 x 365.2422 x 24900 = 436,537,477 miles
(at the equator, which you would have to multiply by the cosine of your average latitude)
The Sun: 48 * 93,000,000 * pi * 2 = 28 billion miles
(ignoring the slightly wavy path caused by earth's rotation)
The galactic center: 30,000 l.y. x 2 x pi / 200 million x 48 = 0.0452 light years = 262 billion miles in round numbers
And relative to the most distant known object:
UDFj-39546284: 3ct = 144 light years (very roughly)
