Is writing to the event log in Application_BeginRequest a good idea?

Hi everyone,

This is the first real .net web application that i have begun to write
and i was wondering whether it is ok, to write to the eventlog in the
Application_BeginRequest event within the global.asax file?

I was gonna write some basic details such as the username requesting
the page, the name of the page, and any querystring parameters
passed. I thought this would be useful for finding any errors that
occur, but also to keep track of what pages are being accessed, used
most etc.

Can any experts out there suggest if this is a good thing or bad thing
to do, or whether i should be thinking of doing this a different way?

Thanks in advanced
