Narrative:

After pushback from gate and both engines started, I contacted ground control for taxi clearance. Ground controller advised, 'taxi via taxiway B, taxiway K, and taxiway east, plan runway 19R departure from taxiway V.' we began taxiing and started checklists. I cleared my side for traffic as we crossed the inactive runways but instead of stopping at taxiway B, we continued across runway 25R toward the full length departure end of runway 19R. There was no traffic for runway 25R. I was thinking taxiway V was across runway 25R. The ground controller called us immediately as we were crossing runway 25R and told us we were supposed to stop at taxiway V, but there was no conflict. I did not have my airport diagram out and also had not flown in almost 3 weeks. The controller never told us to hold short of runway 25R, although had we stopped at taxiway V we would not have been expected to cross the runway.
