Narrative:

While on taxi out to runway 1, I mistakenly turned to taxi to runway 19. Just prior to crossing a perpendicular runway, the ground controller informed us of my mistake. The primary contributor of my mistake was a preoccupation with a possible weight and balance issue. Company procedure is to get our weight and balance data during taxi. Doing this prior to taxi would be a means of reducing distrs during taxi. Another contributing factor was fatigue, as this was the 4TH day of a difficult trip after a poor night's rest at an uncomfortable motel.
