You don't need to resurface your rotors. But you may need new pads...I'm really not sure.

If you get new rotors, get new pads. If you get new pads, you should turn your rotors or get new ones. Pads wear unevenly. If you change one and not the other, you can get less of a contact surface between the two and braking could suffer.

If your pads are that new, you should be fine unless you have been very abusive on them.
