What temp was it running?
Are you sure you are full of coolant?
If you are over heating, you either need a new thermostat and if that doesn't help, you probably have plugged fins in your radiator.

Could be many things!!
Start by inspecting the front side of your Radiator, shine a flashlight through the opening on the R/H side of the Fan Shroud, near the A/C lines.. Also check the front side of the A/C Condensor as well.
