Why does everybody say this? o.o it took me 3 days. I have the commute from Hell. I was not in good shape. The hills are now (a month and a half later) getting to be tolerable, but not really easy; I am still in bad shape.
Then again, I tend to run in manual override mode at all times; my body could die out from underneath me and I'd still keep going. In fact, it has, in incidents unrelated to biking (had my heart stop twice under extreme physical stress, it took me down for at most 1 second).
... maybe you should ignore me and keep doing what you're doing. It'll help you with the not dying thing.
