Hi,
You need to top off your coolant! I have a 02 WRX and was having this same problem a few months ago and topping off the coolant made the problem go away.

How long have you been allowing this to happen? If it happened more than just a few times, go get a compression test -- aluminum blocks and heads rarely survive repeated overheats. Did you heat up enough to get a dash light?
