Agree with what everyone else has said. Push your seat up higher and higher, eventually you'll find the sweet spot where pedaling is most efficient. Also, for the difficult climbs, if there are any longer but not-so-steep routes you can take, try those. You'll get more miles in to add to your base miles and build up your endurance.
Bottom line, though, is just ride!
