Don't worry about the quantity (miles.) Think about the quality. Why are you riding? What do you get from it? What are your goals (small and big?)
Use lower gearing and if your gearing doesn't go low enough, go to the LBS and look at getting a triple, etc. to get lower gearing.

You can make it up those hills if you can spin out those pedals vs. mashing them up a hill.

Once you get lower gearing and spinning going, you can go more than 10 miles- easy.
