Today I started week 3. It did not go well. I tried a different route and I had not realised the difference an incline ( I really cannot call it a hill!) would make. Trying to do a light jog for 3 mins whilst going up hill was too much for me. 
Still you live and learn. I just wanted to say thanks for all the blogs where you have described runs that have not gone well. It helps to know I am not the only one who does not find this easy.
My next run will be better.
I've still to tackle an incline worth the name, put this run behind you K, onwards and (at some time in the future) upwards!
I know what you mean! Any incline feels like Everest for me. I am trying to keep my routes fairly flat whilst I get my fitness and confidence up, not sure if that is the right thing to do but it works for me. If I do hit a hill I make sure that I get my breath back going down the other side! Keep at it though because it is worth it.
I made the mistake of doing an incline for W1R1 and quickly realised my mistake! But it was a blessing in disguise really because it made subsequent runs seem relatively easy.
I still struggle with 'my' incline - I have done it a couple of times now but it is very hard work. Especially as having puffed my way to the top I then have the humped railway bridge to get over! But, it has to be done, I can't always run on the flat, there are several uphill roads around here so, it's dig deep and just keep going!
I am in the middle of week three and have a couple of "inclines" on my route. My goal is to get up them without walking or stopping, even if it means I slow down to a snail's pace and make my stride really small.
Having done them a few of times now I can say it does get easier! I could not do an entire incline on my first run, but now - 3 weeks in - I can. Just keep persevering.
