How long does that take? I've been lifting weights for about a year now, and I still get sore. It's not a dreadful pain, mind you. It's enough to remind me to stretch, and the pain is better than the pain I was getting before I started lifting. That previous pain was from disuse, and I prefer the pain of use.
