1/2 Marathon Training

My second 1/2 marathon is in less than 3 weeks. I'm really looking forward to it. It's the Seattle Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon. I've been training pretty well for it - though I believe my longest run has only been 8.2 miles. (In case you didn't know a half marathon is 13.1 miles)
About a week and a half ago, I think I developed an Achilles Strain on my lower left leg, so I haven't done much running since this started hurting me. I'm getting nervous that this injury is really going to hurt my time.
I also have a horrible blister on my right heel from a night out on Saturday with horrible shoes on! It hurts and I can't wear shoes with backs on them right now...so now *this* injury is hurting my training, too! Ugh! Of course this all had to happen less than a month before the big race!
If anyone has any tips on how to make blisters heal up quick or how to make an Achilles Strain disappear overnight, I'd love to hear from you!
Wish me luck on my last 2 1/2 weeks of training! (Ooh, that just made me nervous! 2 1/2 weeks isn't very long!)
