Narrative:

We pushed off of gate at cleveland airport. It was a very short taxi to takeoff on runway 23L. We were instructed to hold short of runway 28 at taxiway J. Runway 28 was being used by small aircraft for departures. We made a sharp left turn and held short, at taxiway J, off runway 28. After an aircraft departed on runway 28, we were instructed to taxi onto runway 28 but hold short of runway 23L. This was my first time into cleveland and was unfamiliar with the airport. I released the parking brake and started to taxi onto runway 28. I didn't realize it was such a short distance to the edge of runway 23L. I accidentally got the nose of the aircraft out over the edge of runway 23L. A B737 was on a 1 1/2 mi final for runway 23L and was instructed to go around. Due to the short taxi after pushing off the gate my other 2 crew members were busy preparing the flight deck for takeoff. They didn't realize how far I had taxied. My flight engineer was very experienced into cleveland and said that this had happened before. My suggestion for the future would be that all aircraft be held at taxiway J short of runway 28 even though runway 23L is the departure runway. What I mean is that there would be no confusion about holding at taxiway J versus holding short on another runway. There was no danger of an accident or incident in my case thank goodness.
