Narrative:
Runway 5 and 23 at clt crosses taxiway F. Taxiing south on taxiway east, I was completing the last few takeoff checklist items and thought runway 5 was some distance ahead when the first officer said 'that's runway 5.' I stopped short of the runway but my nose had gone over the hold short line. I called tower and told them I had crossed the line but was off the runway. They said if I was ready for takeoff it was not a problem I could go. I did not want to rush the checklist items so I asked to cross runway 5 and clear the area for traffic. Tower agreed. Subsequent takeoff normal. Lessons learned: 1) do not assume you know where you are -- verify it. 2) finish the checklist 'stopped' at the hold short. Good job by the first officer in recognizing a potential problem and calling it out. It saved me from possibly taxiing across an active runway.
