PattyC is right. Sore muscles don't guarantee a good workout. They don't mean you had a bad one either. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is caused by a build-up of lactic acid in your muscles. This is just a by-product of the process your muscles do to utilize ATP. Even well-conditioned muscles are subject to this since the way your muscles do their work never changes. Your muscles are not going to one day wake up and go "you know, I think we'll use a NEW biological process to function." So soreness or no soreness it has nothing to do woth how effective your workout was.
