Yep. There will come a time when 8 miles will hardly be worth getting your bike out of the car.

I rode my mom's Earth Cruiser this morning for 6 miles from the rental car drop off back to her house. I had one insulated bottle of iced tea and only finished about half of it. It took me 34 minutes. It was hot and muggy and I worked up a good sweat and my muscles feel thoroughly warmed up, if not fully worked out.

You'll do just fine. No worries. Take a water bottle and a snack if you think you'll really need one, but you probably won't if you eat decently before hand.

Have fun!
