Default running a cable under the threashold?

I have just enough 10/3 to run a circuit in my garage if I run the cable
under an aluminum threashold. It fits under there like it was designed for
the purpose, but that doesn't mean it is okay... The cable will go through
studs on a wall, down under the threashold, and continue through the wall
on the other side.
Obviously I will have to be careful to avoid snagging the jacket on any
edges, but other than that is there any inherent reason not to do it?
The alternative is to go over the door, and I would have to buy a roll of
cable to do that. Since I don't anticipate ever using 10/3 again, I would
really like to use up what I have rather than buying even more.


Under a threshold may be a wet location. I hose out my garage.
