If you still have it apart, measure the lining thickness with a caliper and write it down somewhere safe. Next time you do rear brakes measure them again and compare notes.
When we had kids at home we had a MDX. We put somewhere around 190,000 km on it (120,000 miles) before we traded it in. I did the brakes pads atleast once all the way around but never touched the shoes, they were like new.
If you are super worried go into the Honda/Acura parts department with your caliper and measure the thickness on a set of OEM shoes for a reference point.
