It would be a good idea to replace it. Every 60,000 miles it should be replaced. When you do, here are some items that you should replace also.
Timing Belt
All 3 accesorry belts ac, alternator and the main one
Request all seals to be replaced. Cam seals etc...
water pump
and dont forget to adjust the valves.
By doing all this, you will not have to worry about anything. New belts, new seals, new water pump, and valves adjusted. The car will run like new.
But, this will cost you if you take it to Honda.
But just remember this, take it to Honda, you know it will be done right.

when you have that many miles, even though your timing belt might still be in good shape, it is still a precautionary measure that needs to be taken.
you will need one eventually, you might as well get a new one and prevent anything bad that can happen from a faulty timing belt.
