I need to get a video of the "puppy zoomies" (where she just runs all over the place with the biggest look of joy on her face).

Nope. Our 12 year old collie does it, too (well, not as much now), especially after he takes a poop (well, more like leaves one) outside.

I am proud to say that Luna also now knows the "2 toy game" with tennis balls. I throw a ball, she gets it, I call her to me, ask her to "out" and then throw ball 2 as a reward for her outing ball 1. That way she is used to a "no conflict" out command, plus in her mind, the "out" makes me throw another ball for her!
She is so bright, she picked it up in one session. The fun of puppies is that they are like a sponge, soaking up whatever we teach them. Her first learned command was to bark! She now sits, downs, recalls, heels at my left, retrieves as well. That is a lot for a 15 week old pup!

I don't do a lot of repetition - boring for me AND the dog!
As long as she understands the command and does it, I am happy - she is just a baby after all. No pressure - only reward at this stage.
I concentrate mainly on developing her grip, focus and socialization. Puppies soak everything up, so it's easier to build a good foundation now rather than waiting until she is wild adolescent to do anything.
