Your week sounds pretty similar to mine. I do 4 5-mile runs a week and then 1 8-mile run. Where I run is on bike path and it has mile markers so that's how I know how far I am going. If you go to a track once in a while you can see how long it takes you to run a certain distance and then guage how far you are going based on the time you run.

You also mentioned that you have plateaued somewhat. If you want to get faster you are going to have to mix in some speedwork into your routine. Get to a track and do some 400 meter sprints (or near sprints) followed by a jogging a lap.
