Pinging in order to show networkstatus in application (Questions)

I got some questions regarding pinging operations in an application. I implemented a control which shows if the computer has internet access or not and a control which shows the reachability of a mysql server. Therefore I currently use TcpClient to check if a connection to both addresses could be established or not.

Question 1): Are there any issues with pinging google.com? Atm I ping www.google.com every 2 seconds. Is it possible that the google servers won't respond because of a spamming presumption? (My application has to run about 72hours and it will ping every 2 seconds for 72 hours)

Question 2): Do you have any useful tips regarding this topic? Is there anything to care about when implementing such things?

Thanks in advance :)
