Hills are tough. I've got some killer hills on my commute. Sometimes my legs are fresh, and I do the hills. On other days, I walk them. I'd rather enjoy my trip than let pride get in the way.
Hills do get easier though. I could do the hills maybe maybe once or twice a week, a couple years ago. I now do them pretty much 4 days a week without issue. The more you do them, the easier they get.
