No need at all to run a cable. Buy a cheap yagi antenna (not the cheapest shit) with like 18db (line of sight and two similar antennas = good for like 1 mile or so) gain, put up a small antenna on the "other side" and you are good to go. You will get as high wifi speed as you normally get unless you are using "N" - G is ok though. Just watch out for the very bad quality "rubber duck" antennas on ebay. Also, if you buy a Linksys WRT-series (absolutely FANTASTIC router), you can pull up the sender effect with a few hundred percents.


Edit: a small correction. In this case you might be better off with an "omni" antenna which is transmitting in a circle pattern. However, 150 yards isnt very much.
