Narrative:
Ground instructed us to taxi to runway 20. Last few days we used runway 2, and I automatically started taxiing to runway 2. May have inadvertently taxied across an active runway. Ground control advised that we were going the wrong way. Complacency on my part from the last night's departure caused myself and first officer not to notice.
