average 6:52 pace over the whole run.  i'm just guessing how much of it was faster.  no precise measurement except that i know the total distance was 10.2 miles and the average pace was 6:52

Nice pace for the 10 miler!

Was that average for 10 miles, or for the 5 tempo miles?

I think you can run at least in the low 2:40s, possibly faster. I would have a better idea if I knew your 800 and mile speed, but going off your 5 K and the training before it I am willing to say conservatively you have 2:40 potential. To get there you would need to up the mileage and consistency, though. I would start with running no less than 8 a day at a comfortable pace. 6 days a week, absolutely no skipping for any reason except sickness or injury. A couple of times a week if you feel good run a tempo, if you don't, do not worry about it. If you feel like going longer, go longer, but not to the point of needing to run less than 8 the next day to recover (except for one day of rest). The goal is to condition the body to run about 80-90 miles a week eventually without getting injured or overtrained. At this point, going the distance is more important than going the pace, you can already quite easily go the pace (6:06 per mile), you just run out of fuel when you try.

great training, over 10 miles well done.. keep up the consistancy it pays off, like Sasha says ;-)
