Some possibilities:

Start to write before you've told the story in your head a million times, and perhaps even before you've told it once. Begin writing the story before you know what happens. Begin writing each scene before you know how the scene turns out.
When you start to become bored, ask yourself, "What else might happen here?" Find a twist you hadn't thought of, and write that.
Keep multiple writing projects in progress. When you get bored on one, switch to another.
For a while, write shorter stories that you can finish before boredom overwhelms you.
Though you've told the story a million times, you haven't yet seen a single reader react to it. So join a local writing group.
