While what Jyden said is true about the oil being used more, I don't think it will be a problem. I've routinely run 10,000 miles on conventional oil in some of my cars. I do an oil analysis to make sure all is well and while this is stretching the life of the oil, it is usually fine. If you run synthetic, you have even more life in the oil.
