Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I should be checking?

There is a good chance you have a head that is broken or leaking. I had the same problem, only worse used 22,000/month. Found 3 leaks in addition to a head that was broken.
Start the system and walk the area checking each head. You'll need to do that with each zone. Mark the problems and repair or call for someone to repair.
Most of us have our systems watering during the night so we never see it in operation. Your problem is common.
