MVC3 Session Start event fires twice

I thought the session_start event in the global.asax should only fire the first time I access a page on the web site. But I noticed for in asp.net mvc3 when I go to different paths it runs every time.

Ex.

http://webserver/home/index - runs once here (link 1) 
http://webserver/contact/index - runs once here (link 2)

Do I need to configure something so session_start only runs once? I tested this by setting a session variable to current date time and displayed the session variable on the layout page. When I click on linked 1 from above it displayed a time and when I clicked on link 2 from above it displayed a time. Both times were different. Any ideas?

Thank you

If Session_Start or Session_End handlers are not defined in the Global.asax, a new Session ID is generated for every request, when there is nothing stored in the Session bag.This is what happening in your case

similar, ASP.Net Session_Start always firing
