Narrative:

Was cleared to taxi from gate to runway 8. No route was specified by the ground/tower controller (he was working both stations). I asked the captain if he would taxi via taxiway C and he said yes. Left turn prior to runway 8/25 parallel is taxiway C. Captain began taxi and I continued my taxi flow and checklist. Captain said clear left and I looked up and out and cleared runway to right and we crossed the runway. Just past the runway we both simultaneously realized we had crossed runway 8/25 (the active) via taxiway J and that the captain had missed the turn on taxiway C. I informed ground/tower controller of the missed turn and he then cleared us to back taxi on runway 8 into position. No other aircraft were involved in either the takeoff or landing phase of flight.
