Narrative:
Due to ceiling, was advised to taxi to runway rarely used by me (runway 15). Was given instructions to taxi to taxiway B(?) and cross runway 8. I was distraction by dog in back seat. Wrote down 'cross runway 15.' continued taxi on taxiway C and crossed runway 15. A plane was in position for takeoff on runway 15 (may have been cleared for takeoff). Was given phone number to call. Talked to ATC supervisor, very polite. I recognized what I had done just as I was in intersection -- poorest mistake since I began flying. No corrective action available. I called tower at my destination airport (O68).
