If you say it takes 8 minutes for light to reach the earth, and in fact you can travel at the speed of light. Would you not be traveling back in time 8 minutes when you reached the sun?

If you say it takes 8 minutes for me to drive to work, and in fact you can make the trip in 7 minutes. Would you not be traveling back in time 1 minute when you reached the office?
No, you would just be seeing light in realtime as opposed to an 8 minute delay. Time is not affected by when you SEE something.
