There are moments when I think my dog has lost her mind. Or she's just really excited and has way too much energy...
We don't have a big backyard but it is a decent size for being near the city's downtown. Usually we let our dog out in the back throughout the day so she can sniff around, pee here and there, and just monitor the situation in general. She will finish her loop in about 15 minutes and be ready to come back inside.
On occasion, we'll let our dog out and she will slowly start her usual walk but as soon as we close the door, she takes off at a sprint and starts running circles, as fast as she can, around the yard. She will zip around the shed, jump over the deck in 2 or 3 strides, race around our big tree, go back over the deck, run to the corner of the garden, grab one of her balls along the way, drop it, pick it up again, race back over the deck, and repeat. She'll do this over and over for up to 10 minutes or so, when she finally collapses on the lawn and pants beside her ball. Once recovered, she'll come back inside, acting as though she had just done her normal sniff-around.
