Narrative:

I'd completed the first leg of the trip after 1 hour mechanical delay and was trying to pick up time with a short turn and flight back from akr to pit. Taxied out, not familiar with airport. Heard taxi to runway 1 looked up saw 2 aircraft shooting touch-and-goes thought that runway 1. Started taxi checklist, found only had data for runway 5 in ACARS, looked and crossed runway 32. Told first officer to look up data for runway 1. Another runway, looked, no one landing. Heading toward aircraft doing touch-and-goes. Called by ground, had just crossed runway 1 without permission. Big problem was rushing, especially at our airport I'm not really familiar with and secondly taking the first officer out of the loop to look up something. Now I call out when crossing any runway, its number and that I'm crossing.
