I can't lift my leg up. Is this a good or a bad thing?

Last weekend my geared bike was at the LBS for a tune up so I rode my fixie for about 80 km over hilly terrain. It's a 42x16 and my cadence varied from 20 to 170+.

It was a real adventure for someone like me. Until that point I only used my FG occasionally, for commuting to work on a flat 10km route.

I destroyed myself. My muscles (hamstrings more than quads) are so sore that I can barely lift my left leg up.

Is this a good or a bad thing? Will this type of treat make me stronger, or am I just setting myself up for injury? If it helps, I don't feel sore ligaments, just muscles.
