Basic help needed ASP.NET with C# code?

Well... I'm an amateur to programming at the moment. Well we got this assignment on ASP.NET under the topic of Application Variables. As reference we were introduced to a basic code wherin we declared an Application["welcome"] = "Welcome to the page" variable in the Global.asax file under Application_Start and then calling it with Response.Write(Application["welcome"]) under Page_Load event in the aspx.cs file.
Now we are supposed to write the code for a simple hit counter using an Application Variable.
My solution was :

1) Global.asax file :
void Application_Start (...)
{
Application ["Counter"] = "0";
}

2) Under aspx.cs file :
protected void Page_Load(...)
{
int cntr = Convert.ToInt32(Application["Counter"]) + 1;
Response .Write("The page has been loaded " + cntr.ToString() + " times".);
Application["Counter"]=cntr.ToString();
}

Now my QUESTION is :
What if I want to go further and have two different counters - one for counting no. of times the page has been loaded and another for counting no. of times the Application has been executed. ?
Is there a way to go about doing this without using cookies and stuff ? Just plain Application variables and basic C# code...
I tried using two different application variables and trying out a few combinations placing them under Application and Session Start & End events and performing the increment under global.asax file itself instead of .cs file. But I could not attain any satisfactory results....
Perhaps someone could help me in this context...

Also can the difference between Page_Init and Page_Load events be used effectively in this context ?

Any suggestions appreciated... :)
