    Sounds like a runaway process or a large query blew up your log file (as previously hinted). Since your database is in simple mode you could shrink the log file to the about the size of your largest index (clustered or nonclustered), or even better (and recommended), switch to FULL RECOVERY model and start running regular transaction log backups.
