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.

The borg also sells wire by the foot. Cost more per foot than full boxes or
rolls, but may be cheaper in this case, if you have no future requirements.
