Be careful... tendonitis will ruin your fun if you're unlucky enough to acquire it, as many have. You don't need to play for 8 hours a day to be great, and if you don't actually focus, you're wasting a lot of time. I've never suggested that anyone practice for more than 3 hours a day (with me having written a structured 3 hour program). I was doing long days for a while before exams, but mostly on the composition element - even then I burned myself out...

Just make sure you're enjoying it...
